NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y., May 14, 2025 (VSNewsNetwork.com) — Healthcare provider Northwell Health has announced that Michael J. Dowling will step down as president and chief executive officer on October 1, 2025. Dowling will transition into the role of CEO Emeritus and serve in an advisory capacity. John D’Angelo, MD, currently executive vice president of the central region, will succeed Dowling as president and CEO.

Dowling has served as president and CEO of Northwell Health since it became an integrated health system. During his tenure, the organization expanded to 28 hospitals across New York and Connecticut, employs more than 104,000 individuals, and includes over 14,000 affiliated physicians and 1,000 care locations.

D’Angelo joined Northwell over 25 years ago as an emergency medicine physician at Glen Cove Hospital and later held several clinical and administrative leadership roles. He currently oversees six hospitals, more than 270 ambulatory practice locations, and 24,000 employees. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he led operational response efforts and later served as Chief of Integrated Operations.

"It has been an extraordinary privilege to lead Northwell through a period of unprecedented growth and clinical transformation that has enabled our team members to make a meaningful difference and improve the lives of the tens of millions of patients and families who we’ve cared for over the last 25 years. In Dr. D’Angelo, the Board of Trustees has selected a tremendous leader who will lead Northwell to greater heights. John is someone who understands and champions Northwell’s unique and differentiated culture and his clinical and operational acumen coupled with skills as a decisive and collaborative leader will enable Northwell to raise the bar on the quality of care we deliver to the communities we serve in New York and Connecticut. I look forward to partnering with Dr. D’Angelo in the coming months to help ensure a seamless transition to what will be an exciting new chapter in the 33-year history of Northwell," said Dowling.

"I am humbled and honored to be selected to succeed Michael Dowling as Northwell President and CEO. I am committed to build on his unparalleled legacy and vision that grew Northwell from a Long Island based health system into a regional and national health care leader. Healthcare is a calling. Every minute of every day we have an opportunity to change someone’s life for the better, and I look forward to leading our more than 100,000 team members who contribute to this critically important mission. Together, we will continue advancing better health for all," said D’Angelo.

"The Northwell Board of Trustees is enormously grateful for Michael Dowling's extraordinary tenure, and we are delighted to name Dr. D’Angelo as our next CEO. Dr. D’Angelo is an experienced administrator, leading a region that itself would rank among the country's largest health systems. He is a trusted mentor for so many Northwell leaders; a respected manager who inspires his team to consistently drive results; and a strategic leader who deploys technology toward the best health outcomes. John clearly stood out among an impressive slate as the best person to bring Northwell into a new era of care," said Margaret Crotty, Board Chair of Northwell Health.
